Most common trail names?

[Tricia]

"The Bowl". Officially or by common usage lots of places seem to have this one.

Or add the direction it faces to it.
North Bowl
West Bowl
Or...
North Face
East Face


Chutes can be named similarly

 

[DanoT]

Headwall

you guys are all way off....easy street.

A nice bowl can put you on easystreet.

I'm impressed that, so far, none of these common names are here exactly. We have a North Bowl Face and a North Bowl Chute (actually called NBC) and a Home Again and Under Easy and Over Easy, plus a Ptarmigan Bowl, but no exact matches. Oh wait, we have DanoT's Headwall.

However, we do have a Hollywood, which I would have thought would have been pretty common.

White Lightning (or the slightly different White Lightnin')

And its cousin: White Nitro (Sugarloaf)

I saw this Power Line sign at A-basin today and thought it must be somewhere on the list. I can't recall where, but I think there are a couple of others in Colorado.

There's one in Killington in the Northridge area. A very narrow glade run so quite different.

There's a Lower Voltage at Stevens near power transmission lines.

Looks like they were using that new fangled flake board stuff.

Ptarmigan. I had to look up what it was on Google because I had never heard of one except at ski resorts.

I wouldn't have known what they were either if it hadn't been for Jack London novels. It's THE preferred prey critter in White Fang/Call of the Wild.

Time to start a "History of OSB" thread?
